This post is to school you psycho-schizo xflop fanbitch idiot zombies.
On one hand, you whine "DUH GHEYMZ, DUH GHEYMZ!!!" when Blu-ray is the
subject, then on the other hand you counter with some limp wrist "DUH
HD-DUD IZ DUH DATAZ ANDZ DUH SONYZ DUZN'T PWNZ DUH BLUR-RAYZ!!!". It
has always struck me how incredibly dense, stupid and ignorant the
xflop fanbitches can be.
Look, I am putting this on a separate line so even you illiterate
retards can get it: BLU-RAY IS *NOT* JUST A MOVIE FORMAT. IT IS A
GENERAL INEXPENSIVE PORTABLE HIGH DENSITY DATA FORMAT, MEANING GAMES,
MOVIES AND DATA.
Blu-ray drives are going to follow the same path as DVD. Here is the
progression, dumbed down so even you idiots should be able to
understand it. First, just like DVD, there will be fairly expensive BD-
ROM drives included with higher end PC's. Then, the BD-ROM drives will
drop rapidly in price. After that, higher end PC's will have fairly
expensive BD+R/RE drives included. From there, the price of BD+R/RE
drives will drop rapidly until, after awhile, inexpensive BD+R/RE will
be standard drives for almost every PC. This is the exact same
progression that happened for DVD and took about 5 years. About 3
years in, PC games started showing up on DVD until now, they are all
on DVD. The same is going to happen with Blu-ray. So, it is about DUH
GHEYMZ, you idiots.
And guess who owns the Blue-Violet Laser Diode and the Blu-ray
technology? Sure, Samsung and Sharp are now manufacturing Blue-Violet
Laser Diodes -- but only after licensing the technology from Sony and
Nichia. Some people remember when only Sony and Nichia manufactured
blue-violet laser diodes and it wasn't that long ago. Blu-ray becoming
the standard read/write portable high data density medium and drive
for PC's means tons of cash coming for Sony and Nichia. xflop
fanbitches am cry.

Cross License Agreement of Blue-Violet Laser Diode
related Patents for Optical Disc
Nichia Corporation (hereafter "Nichia") and Sony Corporation
(hereafter "Sony") have come to an agreement on the cross license of
Blue-Violet Laser Diode (hereafter Blue-Violet LD) related patents for
optical disc use.
In December 2002, Nichia and Sony have agreed to collaborate on the
development of Blue-Violet LD as well as building-up an environment to
share the usage of the related technologies which the 2 companies
possess, to accelerate the growing demand of Blue-Violet LD. Nichia
and Sony have also worked in collaboration on the Blue-Violet LD
development for optical disc recording/play-back use.
The cross license agreement will further strengthen the
collaboration and will enable usage of all related patents on Blue-
Violet LD, with no time limit, in the field of the optical disc
recording/playback usage. Collectively, there are approximately 800
patent applications in total filed by both companies.
Blue-Violet LD is a 405nm wavelength semiconductor laser which will
be vital for Blu-ray disc system, enabling digital recording of high-
definition (HD) contents (movies) in consumer use and professional
disc system XDCAM. It is the key device in the HD era, in various
occasions where high quality images/movies are the key in HD contents
creation in Digital HD broadcasting and recording/play-back in
consumer use.
Through the cross-license, in addition to Nichia, which is most
advanced on a world-wide basis as the Blue-Violet LD supplier, Sony
will also mass-produce and be the supplier of Blue-Violet LD, leading
to building-up a stable environment of the supply of Blue-Violet LD
for optical disc use, required for Blu-ray disc system market which is
expected increase significantly.
The convergence of technologies of both companies lead to achieving
cost-down by improving production efficiency and further enhancing the
production design/manufacturing of higher-performance/high-level-
output Blue-Violet LD.
Results of the join developments so far have already been
implemented in mass production by both companies, and mass production
shipment by Nichia and partial shipment of evaluation samples to other
companies by Sony are under process.
Both companies have agreed to continue to collaborate in technology
development, leading to enhanced performance of Blue-Violet LD and
contribution in the development of Blu-ray disc and XDCAM market.
